pick2023 Daily Read.
It's been a delight waking up to Jane quote everyday. I finished on NYE morning with my favorite tea cup. ⬇️
pickI love this old little book! Published in 1983, my copy has a medieval woodcut of two women working in the kitchen. This is a delightful page turner full of quotes from many peoplx: cooks, tasters, and eaters, throughout the ages. Any cook will appreciate this book.

I remember that one time I saw two of my young mistresses and some lady visitors eating ginger cakes, in the yard. At that time those cakes seemed to me to be absolutely the most tempting and desirable things that I have ever seen; and I then and there resolved that, if I ever got free, the height of my ambition would be reached if I could get to the point where I could secure and eat ginger cakes in the way that I saw those ladies doing. —⬇️
There is no question that Rumanian-Jewish food is heavy. One meal is equal in heaviness, I would guess, to eight or nine years of steady mung-bean eating. Following the Rumanian tradition, garlic is used in excess to keep the vampires away; following the Jewish tradition, a dispenser of schmaltz (liquid chicken fat) is kept on the table to give the vampires heartburn if they get through the garlic defense. —Calvin Trillin

There is no sight on earth more appealing than the sight of a woman making dinner for someone she loves. —Thomas Wolfe

Garlic is the catsup of intellectuals. —Unknown
Yes and I put that shit on everything!!! 🧄😍
A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one‘s husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it. —Anne Morrow Lindbergh
•this is so true with many of us who are in any kind of relationship. These breakfasts don‘t happen often, but I cherish them. Homemade cinnamon rolls; biscuits; poached eggs; oats with citrus curd; bacon; fresh raspberries and cream of wheat; applesauce pancakes with boiled🍎cider!
What is food to one may be fierce poison to others. —Lucretius
Right! I despise fennel and anything that smells or tastes like it. I‘ll grow it for the pollinators but I refuse to eat it. Gross! 🤢🤮 (Shown: fennel, anise, Thai basil, hyssop)
